- Abstract
Within the unified ternary fission model (UTFM), the 14C accompanied cold ternary fission of even-even 250-260Cf isotopes has been studied, in which the interacting potential barrier is taken as the sum of Coulomb and proximity potential. In the 14C accompanied ternary fission of even-even 250-260Cf isotopes, the highest yield is obtained for the fragment combination with doubly magic nuclei 132Sn ( N = 82, Z = 50) as the heavier fragment. The presence of doubly magic nuclei 132Sn plays a crucial role for the most favorable splitting in the ternary fission process of even-even 250-260Cf isotopes. It should be noted that the most favorable fragment combinations obtained using UTFM in the ternary fragmentation of 252Cf are found to be the same as that obtained using the triple gamma coincidence technique at the Gammasphere facility. For example, the relative yield found for the fragment combinations like 98Sr + 140Xe + 14C, 100Sr + 138Xe + 14C, 102Zr + 136Te + 14C, 104Zr + 134Te + 14C, 106Mo + 132Sn + 14C, and 108Mo + 130Sn + 14C. We would also like to mention that the fragment combination 106Mo + 132Sn + 14C, which possesses the highest yield obtained using our formalism, is found to be in agreement with that observed in the experiment using the triple gamma coincidence technique at the Gammasphere facility.
